Biography

Uncool since being uncool was uncool. Since its debut in 2011 the indie rock band altre di B (also known as altre) has secure a place in the flourishing underground scene of its hometown Bologna, Italy, carrying around a lively and vigorous sound combined with interactive, multi-instrumental and choral live performances. By claiming the inventiveness and the energy of indie rock and post-punk bands as main sources of inspiration, altre unveils its artistic appetites with a strong euphoric dimension: to imagine nervous, surprising and jubilant rock songs. The group takes its vintage name from "altre di B", that is the set of matches not included in the soccer B league's sports betting. After numerous recording sessions collected in self-released issues and the invitation to perform to some of the most prestigious music festivals like Sziget, Primavera Sound, SXSW and Europavox, altre has released its first DIY record "There's a million better bands" in 2011 and started a tour across Italy and Europe before the releases of "Sport" (2014, DIY) and "Miranda!" (2017, Black Candy Records) and several tours between North America and Canada. With the incorporation of synths and choirs, the band finally expanded its sound horizon, mining a mix of post-punk, jangle and twee style, and get ready for the release of their fourth album in 2021 for the label We Were Never Being Boring collective. Altre are, were and will always be Giacomo, Andrea, Giovanni and Alberto.
